To Whom It May Concern:

This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:

All documents providing approval from any federal agency or government employee allowing Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin to travel domestically on a federal government-owned airplane as well as all documents stating the reasons for such approval.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes. I am a reporter with ThinkProgress, an online publication covering politics and policy in Washington, DC.

Please provide expedited processing of this request which concerns a matter of urgency. As a journalist, I am primarily engaged in disseminating information. The public has an urgent need for information because it could reveal unlawful or unbecoming behavior by a public official.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Danielle McLean

Good Afternoon Ms. McLean,

This email concerns your FOIA request to the U.S. Department of the Treasury, #2017-09-106.

Your request is still being processed, and no further clarification is necessary. Delays in processing have occurred because Treasury received many requests on this topic. You will be notified once the records become available. Given the high-level of interest and amount of requests received regarding this topic, it is likely that the documents, once processed, will be publicly released on Treasury’s web site.

In the meantime, you may wish to review Treasury’s Office of Inspector General report on the matter, dated October 4, 2017:
